Why? Is FSB worst than say Google+MS+Amazon on CIA books? The mess, death and mayhem created by CIA are well documented and some worse than FSB (remember FSB is NOT KGB because Russia now is a democratic country and not a communist USSR). BTW, CIA also running rendition program similar to what Jack Bauer going through except the bad guys are him after all in real life. I am sure vast majority of HN users had their privacy severely violated by CIA+FBI way more than FSB. Heck CIA even backdoor consumer chipser some years back. Based on what Snowden disclosed, I am not surprise if today situation are even worse. I would take FSB bads over CIA+FBI misdeeds ANY day. Definitely will be checking out Yandex open source contribution. I care codes more than whatever political afflictions of coders have.
